China supplies 80% of ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
The additive is used for food preservation in almost all commercially produced food in the United States.
Americans will pay more for groceries because of tariffs on China, even just because of that single product.

This is what election-rigging looks like.
Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.
Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.
